Make me a Ranger, like Jordan Montgomery.
Make me a pitcher, with a slow cambio.
Just give me a fastball that they can’t catch up to.
Three times through the order,
These defending Astros.

Think Dusty gave Justin a bit too much leash here
Edit: Nope. Dusty has a ring. I am in Mom's basement.
Hey, why is Yammer's car outside?

Also, when Darling does speak, he's extremely insightful. I think he's the best analyst out there.
Verlander is doing more pitch clock management than any other pitcher I have seen in the playoffs. Sometimes he is pitching as soon as the batter steps in, but then he holds until clock is about to go and makes the batter stand there if the batter gets in early. It seems to be pretty effective — keeping them a little off balance.
He is not doing it as much with a runner on, but it will be interesting to see if other pitchers emulate.

He is such a fascinating pitcher to watch these days. Its the classic veteran pitcher with stuff who knows how to control the game. Reminds me a bit of late career Clemens. Please don't hate - just my .02
I love Mauricio Dubon so much that even his presence on the Astros hasn’t quelled my ardor. What a delightful player.
Because we might have to hear about stupid Crawford boxes. Crawford boxes are the Taco Bell of stadium seats.
Eh, for relievers, I tend to focus on WHIP and BAA. 1.15 WHIP, .219 BAA. He's solid
